Permanent Fat Dissolving Injections
Permanent Fat Dissolving Injections are a non-surgical treatment designed to eliminate stubborn fat deposits in targeted areas of the body. This procedure uses an injectable solution, typically containing deoxycholic acid, to break down fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized by the body.
